EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century engraving presents a detailed plan of the historic city of Girona, located in the Catalonia region of Spain, during the negotiations of the Spanish-French Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659. The meticulously crafted image showcases the city's fortified walls, which protected Girona from external threats. The winding River Ter flows through the city, dividing it into two parts. The plan highlights several prominent structures, including the massive Castle of Forca Vella, perched atop a hill, and the modern fortifications built by the Spanish to strengthen the city's defenses. The mountains in the background provide a picturesque backdrop to this historical representation. The intricate details in the engraving offer a glimpse into the urban planning and military strategies of the time. This French engraving, created during the pivotal moment of the Treaty of the Pyrenees, provides an essential record of Girona's layout and historical significance in the 17th century.
